- A brand new rumor hints at AMD doubtlessly engaged on a 32GB RDNA 4 GPU
- If true, it could launch someday in 2025
- A 32GB gaming GPU would seemingly compete with Nvidia’s RTX 5090
It appears Nvidia has taken the GPU market by storm but once more with its powerhouse RTX 5000 sequence GPUs, whereas AMD focuses on its midrange RDNA 4 GPUs launching in March – however a brand new rumor suggests AMD can be engaged on a GPU that gained’t be a midrange card, however may as an alternative compete towards Crew Inexperienced’s flagship GPU.
In accordance with Zhangzhonghao, who’s dependable for AMD leaks previously on Chiphell (reported by NotebookCheck), AMD might be engaged on an RDNA 4 GPU that makes use of 32GB of VRAM, slated for launch someday in 2025. It is unclear whether or not this will likely be a gaming GPU or one devoted to workstation desktop PCs, nevertheless it’s very promising to say the least.
Nvidia’s RTX 5090 boasts 32GB of VRAM and is the greatest GPU you should buy (regardless of present inflated costs and restricted availability). Whereas VRAM is not the be-all and end-all, loads of video games are VRAM hungry (particularly when performed at excessive resolutions like 4K), and it suggests this GPU will likely be aimed on the high-end of the market, moderately than the extra reasonably priced GPUs we’ve come to anticipate from AMD.
We have already seen glimpses of what Crew Pink’s Radeon RX 9070 XT has to supply with early 4K native efficiency leads to Name of Responsibility Black Ops 6, which means that upcoming card will likely be a midrange GPU. Rumors of a 32GB GPU, then, are fairly thrilling for avid gamers who’ve been hoping AMD would as soon as extra launch highly effective high-end GPUs to tackle Nvidia…
Please inform me that is true…
The RTX 5090 and RTX 5080’s costs are at present inflated at virtually each retailer as a result of a mix of scalpers and restricted availability, so you possibly can most likely neglect about shopping for both of them for now (except you are keen to throw all the contents of your pockets at them). I absolutely anticipate the identical to occur to the RTX 5070 Ti ($749 / £729 / AU$1,509) and the RTX 5070 ($549 / £529 / AU$1,109) launching later in February.
With this in thoughts, I am banking on AMD’s Radeon RX 9000 sequence launch in March to offer some essential competitors within the GPU market. If the brand new RDNA 4 GPUs find yourself being reasonably priced choices whereas nonetheless providing a excessive stage of efficiency in video games, it may give Nvidia a motive to look over its shoulder for as soon as and provides avid gamers extra choices.

Nvidia has dominated the GPU marketplace for years, not solely by offering excessive performing GPUs, but additionally with industry-leading upscaling applied sciences like DLSS. We’re nonetheless ready to see FSR 4’s full unveiling (which is AMD’s DLSS equal) – and whereas I’m impressed by what I’ve seen from Crew Inexperienced’s DLSS 4, a number of early glimpses of AMD’s FSR 4 has me excited for what this implies for picture stability in video games, together with the possibility of upper body charges.
Higher but, if this contemporary rumor of a 32GB RDNA 4 gaming GPU is reliable, it is going to be arduous for PC avid gamers to disregard Crew Pink’s efforts on this event. It’s simple that many favor Nvidia’s GPUs because of the excessive efficiency ranges when activating ray tracing and DLSS, however maybe issues may swing in AMD’s favor this time round…
